LTE in San Antonio,TX?! - Motorola Atrix HD

So today my atrix did something odd. I walked up to my phone turned it on and the symbol for the data had changed to 4Glte but wasn't showing that it had connected. I downloaded LTE Settings off the play store and set it the way I've seen some people say to do it on T-mobile, which is the GSM/WCDMA auto (PRL) but now the logo went back to just 4G. I saw someone say to change the APN settings to fast.tmobile.com but mine shows epc.tmobile.com and it won't let me edit it. Am I missing something?

Create a new APN and copy the other settings. The same thing happened to me in Hollywood, CA the other day but I couldn't get data with either APN.

I'll try it out after work see if maybe I can get it working. At least keeping the auto prl I have data

I still couldn't get data last night. I noticed today while playing with APNs that even if I selected my custom LTE APN, it would revert back to the original APN. So I modified my custom APN to match these settings and drove today to an area with LTE signal and I was finally able to get data.

[POLL] Nexus 4 GPS Affected by LTE (Canada Only)

I haven't got my Nexus 4 yet but I saw mixed comments made here and there that enabling LTE will result in GPS unable to lock at all.
What is your experience? Google Map still works with accurate location reporting? Google Now working or not?
What did you set the LTE to? LTE/GSM/CDMA? or LTE only? etc
Maybe indicate which provider you are with, looks like it is also a factor to consider.
Post your results, comment and lets tabulate the information.
GPS locking in less than 10 seconds on average.
Google Maps and Google Now work as expected.
Network type set to LTE/GSM.
Provider is Bell

I like what you have just reported, I am on Bell too, still waiting for my shipping email. Did you cut your SIM or did you get a new one for the Nexus 4?

I just went to a Bell store and picked up an LTE sim for $5. After I received the phone I went to mybell.ca and transferred the service to the new sim - took less than 5 mins.
GPS works perfectly fine. It is the cell tower location that doesn't work!
Go into your settings and disable GPS and Wifi and try going to Maps and you shouldn't get a location.
This has been discussed greatly in the LTE thread.
- *#*#INFO#*#* Phone Settings shows an Unknown under location and no neighbouring CID
- Since there is no location, Google Now fails to load properly
- HSPA establishes all locations as it should. Check *#*#INFO#*#* again

What is the real problem for Google Now? cant it get the location from GPS directly?
That's that I think. If you open Maps with GPS on, then get a lock in. The location will save into your cache or whatever. So if you open Google Now right after it will grab your location.

If you use the build.prop method and never touches your APN setting you will be fine after master reset. (Except rogers and fido cos they have different APN for lte)

Wouldnt you need to add the APN for Bell too? I do know for a fact that Bell's HSPA and LTE share the same APN, but is the APN built into the stock ROM already?

Quick question. I'm on Bell too. I have an LTE SIM. I called and had my account upgraded to LTE... but I'm getting no love. When I change it to LTE/GSM, I get signal bars but no data connection.
I have not changed the APN.
Ideas?

I said in my post that I have an LTE SIM.
On the topic of issues with LTE on the Nexus 4 and Bell. Does anyone have an issue where you would have no radio after a reboot? And then it works after another one.
This seems to happen after I enabled LTE/GSM/CDMA.

Happened once for me. I am on CM10.1, i have a button on my notification for enabling LTE, remainder of the time i stay on HSPA
I'm on Fido with rooted stock rom and haven't encountered any issues, then again, I haven't really done any extensive testing, I'll keep an eye on the GPS lock over the next few days and see if I get anything out of the ordinary.
so no one else is having issues with the gps when they are on LTE?
i'm on rogers in toronto... when i set preferred network to any of the LTE network settings my gps fails, gps works fine when its set to the default WCDMA preferred.
google now and any apps using gps locations fail for me on the LTE network... anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
I added these lines to build.prop in the flashable zip file's build.prop's end:
Code:
telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1
ro.telephony.default_network=9
ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9
Factory reset the phone, and then flash the zip and gapps. in the Settings -> System -> Notification drawer -> Widget buttons
you can find LTE button there.
Once LTE is toggled, it hops on to LTE after a delay, it stays on HSPA+ first for about good 15-30 seconds before it shows full 4G and LTE in the settings.
Google Now works most of the time like this, but if you stay on LTE for too long, the location cache gets reset, Google Now wont get location until you go back to HSPA+

Have you checked the APN settings. Mine was unlocked when I got it and it just worked. When I downgraded though it wouldn't connect I went in and checked the APN settings and it had lost Tmobile's APN settings. I just re added them and reset and it worked. Hope this help

T-Mobile APN updated automatically. i said that in my original post. i believe my AHD is on ICS 4.0.4 is there an update above this that may be causing the issue? like i said, it is unlocked with ATT Sim Lock code but will not receive service except for Emergency Calls only. when the T-Mobile sim is inserted the network bars disappear but the APN updates
It looks like the phone is successfully unlocked.
You can double check the APN settings against the ones recommended by T-Mobile or even create a custom APN with these settings.
Is the SIM card activated? Does it get signal on another phone? If you use the Phone Info app or any other app that lets you in the hidden testing menu, can you check if you get signal if you change the preferred network type to GSM only or to WCDMA only? WARNING: Do not change the radio band.
FYI I'm on T-Mobile with ICS 4.0.4 and I've got signal in multiple places in the US and roaming overseas.

[Q] help pkease. no LTE connection.

My problem is different: I live in los Angeles. I have very strong lte signal around my house. And I know that the tower in my neighborhood is done. However, I just can not connect to lte. When i toggle the airplane mode, the lte signal shows up, then disappear in s second. It seems that the network does not like my phone. The weird part is the the phone worked with lte only at one And only one sprint store. I already updated prl, profile, and check the SIM card. The problem stayed. Please help.

Anyone using N900A on T Mobile?

We made the switch to T mobile yesterday from ATT. Currently using one N900T and one N900A. The N900A seems to lose the 4G / LTE icon in the home sometimes, yet the application Network Signal Info shows it connected to the same LTE tower as my N900T. The N900A gets DNS error message when the 4G/LTE icon is not present, yet Signal Info shows it connected to LTE. Anyone know what is going on please? Thanks.
I'm using it on TMobile but I always have 4G LTE so far. Been using it on TMobile for a week now. Do you have the right apn settings?

I will check when wife comes home, I only received my SP unlock code from cellunlocker.net this morning, so didnt get a chance to review APN settings.
All I did was enter unlock code then stick the sim card inside of the phone, compared it to my n900T and noticed her 4G icon not appearing sometimes.

I did the same exact thing and I unlocked mines from same website. It's not working for you because you need to fix your apn settings. That's why it didn't work for me at first also.

I am thinking the N900A does not have the menu to change :
From any of the home screens, press the "Menu" button
Go to "Settings"
Tap the "Connections" tab
Tap "More networks" > "Mobile networks" > "Network mode"
Select one of the following options:
LTE / WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)
WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)
WCDMA only
GSM only
You can't edit the 900A APN, but you can add an APN, then delete the old one.

I have found that if you put the T mobile SIM in, boot the phone up, let it get a data connection, then restart the phone again, it usually will pull it's correct APN settings from the carrier just fine.
i unlocked mine at cellunlocker.net and typed in the code and the tmo APN was set automatically and i have LTE, with no problems.

I reviewed my wife's N900A with T mobile sim card in it, the APN was actually set to T Mobile but some fields were different to my N900T on T Mobile. I do not remember which lines to be honest, I just copied mine on to hers. I think the field APN type on hers was just set to "default" where as mine is set to "default,mms,supl" .
I also believe her APN was not "fast.t-mobile.com" .
Her N900A seems to be picking up good LTE now, just originally when I first powered it up after unlocking the LTE icon would come and go in the home. I was thinking perhaps the N900A stock does not have all the radios available?

[Q] Sprint G Flex loses service

Has anyone else experience complete signal lost in about every 15-20 min? Ive attempted a factory reset also a ##UPDATE# .
Goto settings->more...->mobile networks
Change it from Global to LTE/CDMA (if in Sprint variant) and reboot
I had the same issue as it will disconnect to search for a global GSM network to connect to every few mins and then reconnect to back to its home network when in global mode.

I live in LA and I get fast Spark speeds @ 30.00 Mbps on average. But what I notice is when I drive in my car or go to neighboring cities it constantly drops from LTE to 3G and the internet would be intermittent until I become stationary and would go back to LTE.
I will try lostsoul77 advice and report back to you tonight.
But yes, every 10-15 minutes it switches between 3G and LTE,
I attempted to change the settings to no avail. I've come to the conclusion that it may be a defective device and will be swapping out for a new one.

Did you reboot after you changed the settings. Try changing the setting, then update profile and prl and reboot
Sent from my LG-LS995 using xda app-developers app
I actually tried that as well! By the way I did end up exchanging for another unit. And unfortunately im still having this issue! Ive attempted update profile, update prl, ##update# , factory resets, settings mobile networks to LTE/CDMA instead of Global, and even manual programming using the MSL code. Maybe its something with the Sprint variant G Flex? Ive contacted LG and they want me to send my unit in for diagnose and repair.
I've had the same issues, here's what I've discovered.. Alot of us don't have band 26 and 41 up yet. And it's sprint wide.. Looks like the next firmware update will have the problem solved.
